We had a last minute hotel change in Chefchouen to a less expensive hotel - we felt badly about that because we were looking forward to the view and obviously think the price difference should be refunded. But otherwise our hotels were quite nice - especially Fez. The people in each hotel could not have been nicer, the breakfasts were great and accommodations good.
Our driver Mohammed, was exceptional. We all were so happy with him, his care and attention. Five stars for Mohammed.
As for city guides, Amin in Marrakesh and Karim in Fez were superb - knowledgeable, understandable and flexible. We learned a lot.
Baba in Chefchouen was on his third or fourth tour of the day and he was tired and irritable. He actually chastised us for buying our merchandise in Marrakesh and Fez and not in Chefchouen, and went even further by saying, “how many rugs did you buy?” “You paid 4-5x for your goods in Marrakesh and Fez. We understand he just wanted commission at “his father’s” store. That tour left us feeling bad about him.
I would definitely use KimKim again on the basis of the well-organized trip and our driver and first two guides. Thank you, Hakim.
Hotel Review
Staying at Riad Fleur d'Orient was a delightful experience. The people there were fabulous and incredibly friendly. Everyone was always smiling, which made our stay pleasant. The riad itself was not the fanciest but definitely the most interesting. I absolutely loved the atmosphere.
Activity Reviews
The guided tour in Marrakech was fantastic. Our guide was knowledgeable and very nice, making the whole experience enjoyable. He added a personal touch, taking us to what he claimed was a relative's drug store, which was quite fun without any hard sell. It was a memorable part of our visit.
Our day in the desert with activities like the sunset camel ride was absolutely special. The food was wonderfully prepared, and the hosts were incredibly accommodating. We felt welcomed, and the entertainment provided made it an unforgettable experience. Truly a highlight of our trip.
